If there’s one thing UTC can’t stand about winter in Scotland, it’s getting drookit on his way to Ladbrokes when the heavens open between the time he leaves the pub after his lunchtime reviver and the time he arrives at the bookies.
So you can imagine the scenes of unbridled joy in SLR Towers the other day when a colleague forwarded a press release onto the auld yin about a new umbrella drone. The limited edition DJI Phantom 4 allegedly tracks the GPS signal from your mobile phone to make sure it’s permanently just above your bonce, exactly where you need it when it’s bucketing.
UTC’s enthusiasm was quickly tempered however as he realised that he doesn’t have a mobile phone with a GPS signal and he doesn’t have £1,299 – the price of said umbrella drone.
The flat cap he had jettisoned into the waste paper basket was quickly retrieved and normal service was resumed forthwith.
